steve roberts Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) I'm the first to admit that there is a lot of dull stuff but when one witneses a race of the calibre one has seen on this thread it emphasises that there is no sport like speedway when conditions are right...whatever the era.

Just a pity so much has been lost or not filmed. Looked for something special from the likes of Peter Craven and it is hard. Bit of film from a world final he won(year after Ronnie Moore) and the commentator is saying what a great meeting it is, but the actual racing shown is fairly boring,sadly Edited March 30, 2020 by iris123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
